  Publié: septembre 24, 2018, 2:29pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

Sabri Haddouche used his Browser Reaper website to share a live test version of the exploit -- the site is also home to exploits for Chrome and Safari. The Firefox attack uses JavaScript to crash or freeze the browser, with the effect of the exploit depending on whether the browser is running on Linux, Windows or macOS.

  Windows 10 now has its own exclusive Linux distro -- WLinux

  Publié: septembre 24, 2018, 1:43pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  There are a number of Linux distros available for the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), including Ubuntu, openSUSE Leap 42, Debian GNU/Linux, and Kali Linux. However, these distros tend to lack development tools and contain unnecessary packages, such as systemd. WLinux is a new, open source Linux distribution based on Debian stable that has been specially optimized for WSL. Created by open-source software startup Whitewater Foundry, WLinux has a number of WSL-specific enhancements enabled by default, with additional features planned for the future. Features include: A fast Linux terminal and development environment for developers and pro-users built on Windows Subsystem… [Continue Reading]

  Users balk as Chrome 69 forcibly signs them into the browser

  Publié: septembre 24, 2018, 12:44pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Chrome users have reacted angrily after the discovery of a new forced sign-in for the web browser. In short, the change means that when you sign into a Google service -- such as Gmail -- you are also automatically signed into this account within Chrome itself. While a handful of people have welcomed the new sign-in activity, there is a very vocal number who are extremely unhappy. In addition to the perceived privacy concerns, what has particularly upset people is the fact that they are being signed into Chrome without being told about it.
